Talk to users, run surveys, and synthesize feedback into actionable insights. Translate customer problems & business goals into clear, prioritized product requirements. Analyze product usage patterns (SQL, Mixpanel) and connect insights directly to business outcomes.

Size and scope opportunities using product data, market sizing, and an 80/20 lens to de-risk decisions quickly. Identify opportunities to double down, design/run experiments (A/B tests, pilots), and present clear recommendations.
